First of all...."Wow"...Thanks for the welcome and the responses, guys.... Very kind and more than I expected.

I warned you I'm thick as a brick when it comes to this computer techno stuff...

Here's what's happened so far....

I had SH3 on my Steam account but rather than mess about, I bought it again as a download from Ubisoft.... It downloaded and installed without issue and runs fine...BUT. I was expecting a brand new account (as in having to start again from scratch) but the Ubi install gives me the same level/progress which I have on the Steam version, so I assume the servers are somehow linked??

Anyhow, I followed the instructions about turning off anti virus, restarting the pc, etc and downloaded the mega mod from THE BERBSTER......Again, no problem, that went well until I tried to install it and it requests the game file, at which point I get an error message telling me it's not a valid path or something....I've made sure it's the file for Silenthunter3 (with no spaces) but it's refusing to accept it...

Yes, I know it will be me being a dummy somehow but I'm wondering if it's because the games are automatic download and not a physical cd install? ... I get no option as to where they install, It's just pay, download, install, play. Never an option like you got with the cd games.

Thanks again, I won't give up, lol.

Hi RW
I am confused here, are we talking about SH3 or SH4?

I only have a SH4 mega mod not SH3!

Hi, Peter. I'm sorry to be such a pain. I really am baffled by computers when it comes to anything to do with files and folders, opening this with that, etc......A simple cut and paste operation was black magic to me until a couple of years ago!

Don't get me wrong, I think they're fantastic things. I'm not "scared" of them as such, just out of my depth...... Because I have so little knowledge, as soon as I get a fault code or error message, I'm stuck.

If the link I've included above (if I haven't messed it up) is where I got the impression the mod was for SH3 from.

Thanks again for your help and patience.

Richard.
